Re: [RC] Thanks Heidi - Chris PausHorse shoes weren't invented a hundred years ago, try thousands! Ever since the Iron Age, horses have worn shoes. The ancient Greeks and Romans shod their horses. It's not new technology and it has been perfected over the long haul, but despite all the new and wonderful products out there, most riders and farriers go back to the tried and true because it works. chris --- Ridecamp Guest <guest-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Please Reply to: Dian Woodward dwcsarabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Thanks Heidi for such a great write up regarding barefoot. To all you barefoot riders. did you ever hear of a working cowboy trying to ride barefoot. Why do you think they invented horseshoes in the first place, hundered plus years ago? To be cruel? No, so that they could ride and work over long distances. Sound cruel to you, to protect your horses hooves? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
